Inhibits serine proteases
Alpha 1-Antitrypsin
Transmembrane protein Regulating Pigmentation in vertebrate organisms
Melanocortin 1 receptor
Nonpolar AA. “CALVIPPMTG”
Cystein Alanine Leucine Valine Isoleucine Proline Phenylalanine Methionine Tryptophan Glycine
Uncharged polar side chain AA
Asparagine
Glutamine
Basic Side Chains
Histidine Arginine Lysine
Acidic Side Chains
Aspartic Acid and Glutamic Acid
Polar AA
Serine Threonine Asparagine Glutamine Tyrosine
A side chain with a pH of 10.54 will not lose its proton in a physiological pH range. Why?
pKa is greater than pH, therefore pKa wins the hydrogens.
A side chain with pKa of 3.90 will lose its proton, but probably never get it back in physiological pH conditions. Why not?
pKa is lower than pH therefore the solution wins the protons.
Essential AA
PVT TIM HLL
AA with OH groups hanging off of R group
Serine
Threonine
Tyrosine
When cysteine has its proton it is (1.) and when it does not, it is (2.).
- not very polar
2. polar
Which AA can be hydrophobic, hydrophilic, and is also considered barely an AA?
Glycine
Which type of reaction forms the disulfide bond?
Reduction
When adding a phosphate to a molecule ,it makes it?
Highly charged
Site of N-glycosylation
Asparagine
More methyl groups mean more …
hydrophobic
Histone have lots of lysines .. why?
Because they are hydrophobic and the histones need to be tightly packed.
Collagen contains which two AA
Glycine and proline . Proline contains OH to help make the fibrous structure.
Precursor of serotonin
Tryptophan
Precursor of NO
Arginine
Precursor of Dopamine
Tyrosine
What does the formation of a peptide bond eliminate?
Water
Characteristics of the peptide bond
Planar -6 atoms are fixed in a plane
Partial double bond
Partial charge
Trans-all R groups are on the opposite side of each other .
Limits degree of freedom
Decrease in entropy
Overall charge at pH 7
Lys–Lys–Ser-Glu
Lys = +1 wins the H
Lys = +1 wins the H
Serine - unsure, but zero
Glu = -1
overall = +1
Rotation of between N and Ca
phi
Rotation between Ca and CN
psi
The peptide bond retains polarity due to
migration of electrons from N to O
Protein is read
N—>C
Protein denaturing , you do what to it?
Protein restoring function , you ?
Reduce it
Oxidize it
Inhibits serine proteases
Alpha 1-Antitrypsin
